Zaine Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Did anyone get anything martial arts related for Christmas? I didn't this year, but my kiddo has been asking for nunchaku so I got her a pair! Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Nope!! Anything but MA stuff, of which I'm very thankful for what I was blessed with. Family tends to stay away from that area because I'm like that car mechanic that has every single tool under the sun whether they use it or not. Having my own fully stocked MA Supply store for many, many years attached to my dojo, and having a dojo busting at the rafters with nearly every MA training tool under the sun, the family doesn't try to get me any MA toys anymore. **Proof is on the floor!!!

When I was a teenager, I really wanted to be a chef. If you knew nothing about me, then you knew that. For years, all I got for Christmas was cooking materials. Finally, I started giving people lists of things that I wanted which, notable, included no cooking materials.A couple of years later, I finally stopped receiving them.

Zaine Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 It absolutely counts. I buy myself presents all the time.

ashworth Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I got a couple of Cobra Kai items, and then a karate book: The kata and bunkai of Goju-ryu karate: the essence of the heishu and kaishu kata. So I'm pretty happy with that Ashley AldworthTrain together, Learn together, Succeed together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
